    1. favela, also spelled favella

      This is incorrect. "Favela" is NEVER spelled "favela". "Favela" is a Portuguese word. According to Portuguese spelling and pronunciation rules, a double-L should NOT be used in that word.

    2. Also known as: favella

      This is incorrect. "Favela" is not known as "favella".

    1. This Python beautifier is annoying. I entered some code containing single-quoted strings and requested it to be formatted. The result replaced all the single-quotes with double-quotes. I never use doubles unless it's necessary.

    1. How can I add, subtract, and compare binary numbers in Python without converting to decimal?

      I think the requirements of this were not spelled out well. After reading this over a couple of times, I think the problem should be…

      "Add, subtract, and compare binary numbers in Python as strings, without converting them to decimal."

      I'll take on that problem sometime when I get free time!

    1. Using these as touchstones, it seems fair enough for someone to insist that you create a copy of their work to be able to annotate it. As Mike Caulfield hints at, giving people the ability to comment on the master document seems like a privilege rather than a right.

      Strictly speaking, tools like Hypothesis do not make annotations on the master document. The master document does not change. I don't think any tool could change the master, unless it was one the author could use to authenticate to their website for that purpose. The annotations are kept on the Hypothesis servers. If the annotations are posted publicly, then anyone can see them.

    1. 'handlers': { 'console': { 'level': 'INFO', 'class': 'logging.StreamHandler', 'stream': sys.stdout, 'formatter': 'verbose' }, },

      It's as simple as adding "sys.stdout" to the "stream" attribute.

    1. Like every B size, a B5 paper sheet cannot be printed with a personal printer. It’s because the size is used in professional printing. This paper size is used to create magazines, menus, or flyers for advertising. 2

      This is silly and wrong. B5 paper is slightly smaller than A4 or American letter size paper. If a personal printer can print those common sizes, it should be able to print A5, too. A printer with A4 or letter paper would probably print the B5 page either centered or upper-left aligned on the paper. If the printer will not print the B5 page, that is the fault of the software, like the application, printer driver, or even the operating system. Updating or replacing those should enable the printer to print B5. If that doesn't work or isn't possible, then printing the B5 page to a new document, like a PDF, set up for A4 or letter paper should help. Printing that new document should work.

    1. 1.1 Medicine[edit | edit source] An overbar over a letter is a traditional way of specifying certain Latin abbreviations. For example, s̅ (s overbar) stands for Latin, sine (meaning without), c̅ (c overbar) is an abbreviation for Latin, cum (meaning with), ā (a overbar) stands for Latin, "ante" (meaning "before"), and p̄ (p overbar) stands for Latin, "post" (meaning "after").

      Good to know it's possible to type these overline characters. I use "c̅" in handwriting, but now I can use it in my typed text, too.
